it was the United State writer Nathaniel Parker Willis who first used "uplift" as a compound noun in 1845, in a poem describing the baby prophet Nathan's presentation to Kind David: " His Brow / hand the Inspired up-lift of the Kings. in the following decade geologists described how land could be subject to "uplift" over time.
